EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Pushkin School in Port Arthur during the Russian occupation of the city, now known as Lushunkou, a district in the municipality of Dalian, Liaoning province, China. Port Arthur, with its excellent natural harbor, was a coveted prize for various powers due to its strategic location and economic significance. The Russian presence in Port Arthur began in the late 19th century and lasted until 1905, when it was seized by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War. The Pushkin School, named after the famous Russian poet, was established during this period to provide education to the children of the Russian community. The school's red-brick buildings and lush green surroundings exude a sense of tranquility and order, contrasting the turbulent history of the region. After the Japanese took control, the Soviet Union regained possession of Port Arthur in 1945, and the city remained under Soviet administration until 1953. Today, Lushunkou is a thriving district in Dalian, showcasing its rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people who once called Port Arthur home during the Russian occupation.
